Maruti Suzuki needs to up its game as it faces headwinds over the bread and butter models

In the last few years, India's passenger car market has been skewing towards bigger and more aspirational automobiles, especially sports utility vehicles (SUV). The trend has accentuated in 2024-25 in a market that grew by an anaemic 3%. The SUV and multi-utility vehicle (MUV) segments grew in low-teens but hatchbacks and sedans were less in demand. The share commanded by SUVs, in the overall market, went up to nearly 55% in 2024-25 from just over 50% in the previous year. In contrast, the share of sedans fell to 23.5% from 27.7% in 2023-24; hatchbacks gave up 120 basis points to retain a share of just 7.9%.
